Sa. Wade et al., Nd3+-doped optical fiber temperature sensor using the fluorescence intensity ratio technique, REV SCI INS, 70(11), 1999, pp. 4279-4282
An optical fiber temperature sensor employing the fluorescence intensity ra
tio using Nd3+-doped silica fiber and exhibiting high sensitivity is presen
ted. The development and construction of the sensor, which requires relativ
ely simple electronics and data analysis, is described together with its ca
libration over the -50 to +500 degrees C temperature range. (C) 1999 Americ
